The 2014 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty got off to an incredible start today, with thousands of spectators gathering at Ogunquit Beach to watch more than 100 vintage cars and trucks take the green flag. With such a huge crowd, and so many great guests (Bob Varsha, Wayne Carini, Corky Coker just to name a few), our racers were greeted with lots of smiles as they blasted off from Beach Street and headed to the actual starting point of the timed rally. A few notes to remember are that the back-to-back Grand Champions (Barry and Irene Jason) are in a new car for this year…look for the red Mustang coupe below. We’ll post lots of pictures today, but enjoy some of our favorite photos of the Grand Start in Ogunquit!
